For Episode 70, we’re excited to welcome Chris Castiglione, Co-Founder of Console, a web3 alternative to Discord, and crypto-native platform for web3 communities to focus and take action. Chris is an experienced tech leader, is a Y Combinator alumni, and left his web2 company to start building in the exciting new world of web3. In this episode, we discuss why they’re building a web3 alternative to Discord, why this matters, how their platform gives web3 communities like DAOs the tools to take action and drive change, the future of decentralized identity, and much more.

Three Key Takeaways

In web2, you may have heard the motto “don’t be evil,” whereas in web3, it is possible to build a system where one “can’t be evil,” by putting in place decentralized structures and trustless accountability models.
Cryptocurrency gave people ownership over their money, and web3 platforms can give individuals ownership over their identity.
Open source is the future. Building decentralized open-source alternatives to traditional web2 platforms will help build a more collaborative and fairer internet.
